Every meeting in this world is a reunion after a long separation, but not every reunion goes smoothly...
[Ancient setting + past and present lives + tragic romance] [Love and hate take different paths; old grudges run deep. Even if we misunderstand each other, may we never let each other down again...] The Mo family is framed and exiled, then attacked by assassins along the way! With her parents and family nowhere to be found, the eldest daughter of the Mo family, Mo Yusheng, is sold to a brothel and forced into a life of debauchery... To clear her family's name, Mo Yusheng decides to endure humiliation and seek the favor of the powerful. By a twist of fate, she meets the Third Prince, Xiyan, who has been reborn. Though she has no interest in the royal family's power struggles, she is unwillingly drawn into them...
In her previous life, Mo Yusheng helped Xiyan claim the throne. But Xiyan sent Mo Yusheng to her death...
In this life, after suffering endless loneliness, Xiyan is afraid! He no longer cares about power! Just as he loses all hope, he meets Mo Yusheng again...
Now that they have met, he will never let her go! But though "the morning glow yearns for the duckweed, the duckweed feels nothing," their "reunion after a long separation" is not as smooth as they imagined...
"You want freedom, I'll give it to you! You want respect, I'll give you that too! But if you want to leave, that's not happening!"
"Mo Yusheng, you're always afraid of losing someone! But could I ask you to turn around and see who is afraid of losing you...?"
"As long as you don't leave, I'll agree to anything! If you'll stay, I'll even give you my life!"
"Can you stop punishing me like this? You always pretend to be strong... You bear every hurt on your own. I can't be part of anything that happens to you..."
"I was wrong, truly wrong. I'll set you free, and free myself too..."
It feels more like a misunderstanding between both parties. The male protagonist and the female protagonist are both pitiful, but more of them are on the male protagonist's side and really want to change, but because of the misunderstanding, they don't trust each other even more.
